West Deptford Police Arrest Alleged Car Thief

West Deptford police this week arrested a man who allegedly stole a car from Country Creek West at the beginning of the month.

Police said Edward B. Angelini, 40, who lives in that development, stole a 2003 Dodge Neon from Foxton Court some time between 7:30 p.m. on June 1 and 6:50 a.m. on June 2. The car was recovered at Broadway and Chestnut on the south side of Camden on June 6.

Angelini was arrested at his home at 9:30 a.m. on June 7, and was charged with burglary and theft, with bail set at $1,000 full cash. He was unable to post bail, and was lodged in the county jail.

Police said Angelini is also a person of interest in a separate car theft, just across the street from Country Creek West, in Merevan Farms on Pelham Court, where a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee was stolen on the morning of May 4.

And while in custody, police said Angelini admitted to burglarizing anywhere between 20 and 40 cars in Country Creek West and Country Creek, mostly taking loose change.

If you live in those developments and believe your car may have been burglarized, police urge you to contact Inv. Richard Henry, who is in charge of the investigation, at 853-4599 x162.
